NEW NOVEL

Just released! Barnes & Noble Publishing has just released my new novel, Racing the Wind.

Kayla Darkwolf, a determined Cherokee woman in her final year of pre-veterinary studies at Oklahoma State University, faces a life-altering tragedy when her family dies suddenly. Grieving but resolute, she decides to honor her family’s legacy by taking over their horse ranch and competing in the Indian Relay Races. Torn between a stable veterinary career and the thrilling, dangerous world of Indian Relay racing, Kayla chooses the latter. With the help of a mysterious Lakota man and an old friend, Danu Echota, she navigates the challenges of running a ranch, training horses, and racing. Throughout her journey, Kayla relies on her Cherokee heritage, traditional remedies, and community support. Her story is one of perseverance, tradition, and finding her place in the world.
